- "Welcome to Vespaara!"
- ―Boz Vega
Vespaara was a rocky[2] planet located in the Outer Rim Territories. It was home to the Grand Arena, where individuals from across the galaxy competed in the Hunters of the Outer Rim tournament. The Arena was located in the southern pole of the planet, where it was completely angled away from the sun, existing in a perpetual state of twilight. A round of haze and aurora effects were shown in the sky on a yearly basis, appearing as a "celestial audience of sinister red and purple eyes, always staring down."[8]
Behind the scenes
Vespaara is the setting of the 2022 competitive combat game Star Wars: Hunters, published by Zynga and Lucasfilm Games.[2]
